    Just had one of the biggest bucks I got on camera at 20yds, unfortunately he just wasn’t what I wanted. Had him broad side at 20yds.

    I’m a “SOB”. And all I want to do is sit in a tree. / I don’t show my wife any attention because it hunting season. I’m an A$$h@!&.

    I don’t go anywhere or do anything the rest of the year. I’m not out at the bars unless my wife is with me. I do t drink much at all. I don’t go with friends very often if at all. Yea I don’t plan dates but I’ve been denied some times if I do plan so I don’t plan.

    sorry to beech.

    I will be hunting around the house the next week , the wife’s car is going to the repair shop for repairs on her car from a deer collision. She’ll have my trk.

    been arguing with her for the past 2 weeks +.
    Looking forward to heading to NY 11/7. To go see @Fix

    Let it out man. You’re not alone! I told my wife when we first started dating 15 years ago, married 5 yrs. You have me for 10 months, October and November are mine. She still gives me a little grief. This too shall pass Chris.

    Not my team thread, but I've been exactly where you are. I know all about it and it's not easy. I DO NOT recommend my solution to the problem.

    I’ll be out tomorrow evening, went this morning and didn’t see squat. Moved some cameras around and put new ones out.

    So close!! So the 8p came bk out for a 4th time and as I’m watching him my no 1 buck comes out following him 50yds behind. Long story short I’m at full draw with him facing away from me at 25yds (I drew on him as this picture was taken). Just needed him to turn 90 deg. Instead he trots off. IMG_0007.jpeg

    Dang, you’re in the game. You’ll seal the deal sooner than later. Keep grinding!

    Still mainly smaller bucks moving for me. Unfortunately the nice 10 I passed earlier in the year was shot by the neighbor. My decision to pass him was foolish, but live and learn. He ended up grossing 151” so that adds a little insult to injury.

    Still plenty of nice bucks out there but 2 of my biggest 4 are down. More bucks will move in I’m sure so not giving up by any means.

    Looking forward to my time off this week! Probably going to sit with my son for a few spots as he’s just getting into bow hunting, but I’ll be hunting hard.

    Good luck everyone! It’s almost that magical time.

    I'll be heading out after work today. Gonna push a little closer to where I seen the big 10 come out at last week. Haven't seen him on camera still, hoping he hasn't found the first hot doe in the area.
